Envelopes
Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes.
To print on an envelope, the stamp area should be on the left side and the end of the envelope with the stamp area should enter the printer first in the center of the tray.
•When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:
-Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m2 otherwise, jams may occur.
-Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm ( 0.24 inch.) of curl, and should not contain air.
-Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, nor damaged.
-Temperature: Use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and pressure of the machine during operation.
•Use only
•Do not use stamped envelopes.
•Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining,
•Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
•Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to the corner of the envelope.

•For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm ( 0.59 inch.) from the edges of the envelope.
•Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
Transparencies
To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for laser printers.
•Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand machine’s fusing temperature.
•Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the machine.
•Do not leave unused transparencies on the paper tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty printing.
•To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle transparencies carefully.
•To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to prolonged sunlight.
•Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn edges.
•Do not use transparencies that separate from the backing sheet.
•To prevent transparencies from sticking to each other, do not let the printed sheets stack up as they are begin printed out.
Labels
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for laser machines.
•When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
-Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at your machine’s fusing temperature (about 170°C (338 °F)).
-Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.
-Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (0.51 inch.) of curl in any direction.
-Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.
•Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between labels.
